They provide a sense of place and belonging for residents and they advocate for community needs and initiatives.

All residents and business owners within the boundaries of each neighbourhood association may be considered a member.
Participation is free and can be as involved as sitting on the Board of Directors or as simple as coming out to a neighbourhood event.

Neighbourhood associations are for people who:
Want safer communities.
Want to plan special events to create closeness and a fun place to live.
